When I was a kid I FUCKING LOVED DINOSAURS. Made my parents take me to the Natural History Museum in London whenever they could and carried my plastic diplodocus EVERWHERE. So when it came out on VHS my parents thought they'd be the best parents ever and rent it out for me.

So there I was, about 7 years old, clutching my dinosaur in excitement - and then the fence goes down, it gets dark, the water twitches. When the car is flipped and the kids are screaming and the t-rex is sniffing them out, I'm so overcome with fear and anxiety that I VOMIT EVERWHERE. Refuse to watch the rest for a few years. I feel so sorry for my parents, they tried so hard to please me when they realised I was never gonna like dolls and barbies LOL

Lol, I have to reply to this, because I almost have the exact same childhood story as you. I was ridic obsessed with dinosaurs as a kid (had a whole collection of plastic dinosaur figurines), so my parents rented Jurassic Park for me too. That same T-Rex scene scared the shit out of me, let me tell you,and I didn't want to watch the rest of the movie. At least I didn't vomit everywhere, haha.

Yaaaay! So glad someone else has had a similar experience! My bad experience with the film never killed my love for dinosaurs though - I think my traumatised mind had to block the memories of the film temporarily for its sanity so I could go on pretending to be a velociraptor in my spare time :)

I also was obsessed with dinosaurs as a kid - had figurines, books, went to an exhibit at the Lawrence Hall Of Science, etc. So of course I wanted to see Jurassic Park. But unlike you and the other anon, I wasn't scared in the least. In fact, I think I was rooting for the dinosaurs. Yeah, that's how cool they were.... honestly, I didn't care about any of the humans. I'm not a sociopath or anything, I just... couldn't... care. So yeah, Jurassic Park did nothing to kill my dino fever.

That fucker Barney on the other hand...

I was 12, saw JP in the theaters, and was scared senseless. And yet I went back and saw it four more times that summer. I think it was the third time through before I could actually watch the whole thing without covering my eyes or ears. When it came out on VHS, my mother picked me up from school instead of me taking the bus home, took me to the store, and bought me a copy. I wore out that VHS tape. Now it's something I consider a comfort movie.

But anyway, my whole point in replying is to tell you that you are not alone with your parents trying so hard to foster that love of dinosaurs and somehow blundering it all anyway. I, too, was obsessed as a kid. When I was 7 or 8, my father went to the video store and said to the clerk "My daughter is sick and she loves dinosaurs. Do you have a movie she would like?" and the clerk asked how old I was. When my father gave my age, the clerk handed him The Land Before Time. Not a scary movie in the slightest, but when Littlefoot's mother died? I ran screaming from the living room, refused to watch the rest of the movie, and had to sleep at the foot of my mother's side of the bed for a week straight. I don't think my poor father ever forgave himself for that one.

The scene where Littlefoot's mother is getting attacked by the T-Rex TERRIFIED me as a child. To this day I still think about the scene and how traumatizing it is. Amazing that they put such a violent scene into a kid's movie, although all you really see is the shadow's on the rock.

XD I didn't vomit everywhere but my sister and I were so terrified at the spitting dinosaur part where it gets in the car with the fat guy, we immediately stood up and left the theater. We were so scared we refused to go back in. Thankfully my parents were cool with leaving.

Man I had like a hundred dinosaur books that I read for fun and I knew the names of a good chunk of them. So my parents thought I'd like Jurassic Park too. I was like 7/8. I fucking cried.

I had nightmares about velociraptors for years too.

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't even like them that much, just enjoyed watching Walking with Dinosaurs or something like that on tv, and my father thought it would be a good idea to take me see JP3. I was ten years old and for the second time in cinema in my life. Don't even remember anything from the movie, because I almost immediately got so terrified I closed my eyes and ears as tightly as possible and spent the whole remaining time sitting like this. I was afraid of going to cinema for years after this, in addition to nightmares.

[(Anonymous)]

Haha, I was very similar to you as a kid. I was four when the movie came out in theaters and I BEGGED my parents to take me for weeks. And surprisingly, they did. However, I went the opposite route and fell in love with it. I got them to buy it for me and everything. To this day it's still my favorite movie. I'm sorry you had a bad experience with it. :(
